Antidote For Computer Woes - - Lunch at Clearwater Beach

Copyright 2014, CABS for Reflections From the Fence

Man has been wanting to drive over to Clearwater Beach. I have been fighting computer woes for a bit over a week. Frustration is starting to mount (ok, we are past "is starting", and have gone right to, "TOTALLY")

So, today, we decided to take a ride. We started out, it clouded up. Then, it rained a bit. Then, it stopped raining. Then we got to the beach and there was a bit of high "fog". (They call it fog here, looks just like sea mist to me, but, that is what they call it.)

We nabbed a parking spot that held Jolly quite nicely and walked back a block to the beach.

It was lunch time, we pretty much stopped at the first place we found, and sat in the sun and the light sea fog. We had a nice table just across the street from the beach.

After we finished, we started having visitors:

They specialize in fly and run, not hit and run, but, fly and run. They are fast, they know what they want and are determined to get it:

Seagull to Carol, "Don't get in my way lady, those leftovers are MINE!"

Carol's thoughts on this: I did not really appreciate the butt in the face action, thank you Mr. or Mrs. Seagull.

Like I said, they don't care about you, just give em the leftovers.

At this point I decided to get up and move on, rather than experience the consequences. You know, it goes in, it has to come out.

Which Am I?

Am I a genealogist or a family historian?

Well, both of course, how can you be one without the other?

A family historian depends on the genealogist to supply the facts.

A genealogist depends on the family historian to tell the stories.

Genealogist, family historian, I am one in the same.
